Download or read book The Jesuit Order As a Synagogue of Jews written by Robert A. Maryks and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "The Jesuit Order as a Synagogue of Jews" the author explains how Christians with Jewish family backgrounds went within less than forty years from having a leading role in the foundation of the Society of Jesus to being prohibited from membership in it. The author works at the intersection to two important historical topics, each of which attracts considerable scholarly attention but that have never received sustained and careful attention together, namely, the early modern histories of the Jesuit order and of Iberian purity of blood concerns. An analysis of the pro- and anti-converso texts in this book (both in terms of what they are claiming and what their limits are) advance our understanding of early modern, institutional Catholicism at the intersection of early modern religious reform and the new racism developing in Spain and spreading outwards.

Download or read book The Spacious Word written by Ricardo Padrón and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2004-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spacious Word explores the history of Iberian expansion into the Americas as seen through maps and cartographic literature, and considers the relationship between early Spanish ideas of the world and the origins of European colonialism. Spanish mapmakers and writers, as Padrón shows, clung to a much older idea of space that was based on the itineraries of travel narratives and medieval navigational techniques. Padrón contends too that maps and geographic writings heavily influenced the Spanish imperial imagination. During the early modern period, the idea of "America" was still something being invented in the minds of Europeans. Maps of the New World, letters from explorers of indigenous civilizations, and poems dramatizing the conquest of distant lands, then, helped Spain to redefine itself both geographically and imaginatively as an Atlantic and even global empire. In turn, such literature had a profound influence on Spanish ideas of nationhood, most significantly its own. Elegantly conceived and meticulously researched, The Spacious Word will be of enormous interest to historians of Spain, early modern literature, and cartography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta Vida del padre maestro Juan de Ávila escrita por fray Luis de Granada estuvo muy influido por el místico Juan de Ávila, cuya vida aquí se recoge, y ello levantó las sospechas de la Inquisición. Fragmento de la obra Aquel solícito padre de familias que a todas las horas del día anda cogiendo obreros para cultivar su viña, jamás deja pasar edad alguna que no despierte algunos muy señalados obreros, que con su trabajo e industria ayuden a esta labor. Entre los cuales fue Él servido de llamar este nuevo obrero, cuya vida comenzamos a escribir para gloria del mismo padre de las familias y de este obrero que Él escogió, suplicando al mismo padre que, pues este siervo suyo; pues es justo que sea glorificado en la tierra el que tanto procuró todo el tiempo que vivió glorificar al que reina en el cielo. Y aunque va poco en saber el origen de los padres que los siervos de Dios tuvieron en la tierra, pues tienen a Dios por padre en el cielo, todavía se suele esto escribir para gloria de la tierra que este fruto produjo, y de los padres que lo engendraron. Fue, pues, este siervo de Dios natural de Almodóvar del Campo, que es en el arzobispado de Toledo. Sus padres eran de los más honrados y ricos de este lugar y, lo que más es, temerosos de Dios; porque tales habían de ser los que tal planta habían de producir; y no tuvieron más que solo este hijo. Siendo él mozo de edad de catorce años, le envió su padre a Salamanca a estudiar Leyes, y poco tiempo después de haberlas comenzado le hizo Nuestro Señor merced de llamarle con un muy particular llamamiento. Y, dejado el estudio de las Leyes, volvió a casa de sus padres; y como persona ya tocada de Dios, les pidió que le dejasen estar en un aposento apartado de la casa, y así se hizo, porque era extraño el amor que le tenían. En este aposento tenía una celda muy pequeña y muy pobre, donde comenzó a hacer penitencia y vida muy áspera. Su cama era sobre unos sarmientos, y la comida era de mucha penitencia, añadiendo a esto cilicio y disciplinas. Los padres sentían esto tiernamente; mas no le contradecían, considerando, como temerosos de Dios, las mercedes que en esto les hacía. Perseveró en este modo de vida casi tres años. Confesábase muy a menudo, y su devoción comenzó por el Santísimo Sacramento, y así estaba muchas horas delante de él; y de ver esto, y la reverencia con que comulgaba, fueron muy edificados así los clérigos como la gente del lugar. Pasando por allí un religioso de la Orden de San Francisco, y maravillado de tanta virtud en tal edad, aconsejó a él y a sus padres que lo enviasen a estudiar a Alcalá, porque con sus letras pudiese servir mejor a Nuestro Señor en su Iglesia y así se hizo.
